The gardens and grounds are fantastic and very well kept. The access to the lake is brilliant and our dogs (2 black labs) loved the freedom and security of the surroundings. Patricia, the owner is lovely and very happy to help without invading your space. The Gardener is lovely also, sorry didn't get the name. The flat was nice with beautiful views across Ullswater. We will hopefully return in the near future.
